The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s. The Moon is about 377 million meters away. So that works out to roughly 1 million seconds, or about 300 hours.
Sadly, there's no air between the Moon and the Earth and the speed of sound in a vacuum is zero. So the real answer is forever.

Between the Earth and the Moon , there's a vacuum space which prevent sound from traveling. Therefore, there's no sound wave that could travel from Earth to the Moon.

A sound wave would not travel from the earth to the moon. Sound needs to travel "in" something (air is good), space is generally void of somethings. Hence, no sound.

Sound can not travel in space since there is no medium through which it can travel. Only the electromagnetic spectrum can travel through a vacuum. Like light, or radio waves which can be used to carry sound thats how astronauts could listen to the radio while in space, its also how they communicate.

If you think about these answers for a minute, you will quickly discover that it blows Sci-Fi movies pretty much out of the water. All those spectacular explosions make no sound ! You could stand as close to someone as you want and you can't talk to him, except via radio. Shouting wouldn't do any good. Sorry folks!
